lockie28 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 hi. The front suspension on my sherco seems to be a little hard and only seems to go down about half way. Iv had a go at playing with the damping and rebound ajusters but nothing seems to make a diffrence. Could it possibly be too much oil in the forks or not enough? When the bike is sitting static there seems to be a small amount of play at the top of the forks when u pull the bars up..... any help is appreciated thanks in advance.

sherco34 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 take the front wheel off and see if it is just one of the fork legs? maybe the spring has collapsed/snapped? i'm not sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockie28 Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I dont think thats the problem as they work but dont seem as spongy as they should ..like other bikes iv owned/been on. Bouncing the front end is a task and a half atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) They will def bind up if too much oil in the right leg, like someone did not drain the damping unit before a refill, will be overfilled. To use the quantity method the damping cartrage must removed and completely pumped dry then add 370ml in the right. Left takes 385ml. This is for Paioli / Ceriani, Tech forks on later models is different on quantity. Edited November 22, 2013 by copemech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
